For me, the Input Source was English India.
So, Option + Shift + F resulted in showing ̰

After changing the Input Source to English I was able to format the code using the above shortcut.

You can always redefine the shortcut via the preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts: Mine was set to ^|, which did not work. So I changed it to shift + option + f (since this shortcut only printed Ï)

Hope this helps ;).

(edited on 4th Jan 2023: the answer below still remains the same, in version 1.74.2, Nov 2022)

For visual studio code version 1.36.1 (2019)

visual studio code version 1.36.1 (2019)

To auto-format the selection, use ⌘K ⌘F (the trick is that this is to be done in sequence, ⌘K first, followed by ⌘F).

auto-format selection or document

To just indent (shift right) without auto-formatting, i.e., blindly indent, use ⌘]

indent options

As indicated in Visual Studio Code's Keyboard Shortcuts (⌘K ⌘S, or from the menu as shown below)

cmd + A + cmd + K + cmd + F

this worked for me.

All I do is to hold "cmd" and then press A, K, and F one by one.

Updated December 21, 2017: as pointed out by Fabio, on mac it should be: ⌘ + ]

On Windows: indent control is ctrl + ]

A good way to find commands is by navigating to: Code -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts

Also, the Visual Studio Code team provided those handy shortcut pdfs:

Another helpful command to achieve this might be: shift + option + f which is auto format.
